[H] weird email problem
Hey Gang, An having a weird email problem. Every few days I get 40-500 bounced emails in my mail folders. AS best I can tell they have been sent by my system and then bounce back. The writing in the emails is Russian I believe. My virus checker shows no problems. (Norton and yes its signatures are up to date) Spybot doesn't show any thing. I can go several days to several weeks with this not happening ad then bang, I have 400 to 500 of them. Some of the emails show a file attached. How can I track this down and stop it? Best I can tell its originating from my system Any help appreciated.

Harvey, It's possible that it is not coming from your machine but are being sent from another computer where they are spoofing your email address. Then when it bounces, it comes back to you.

Re: [H] weird email problem
Not that I know of, other than changing your email address. It is still possible that it is your machine. Are you running a firewall that can check outgoing connections? If so, you might try locking everything down and re-allowing stuff you know is ok. I'm sure there are many others on this list that will have better info.

If you were posting 500 emails from your system your ISP would shut you down pretty quickly. So it sounds like a spamer is spoofing your email address to send out spam, and then the bad addresses are bouncing back to you. Once this happens there is nothing you can do except live with it or get another email address. m

Re: [H] weird email problem
Windows Live is a group name for a large collection of programs, see http://get.live.com. Perhaps you meant Windows Live Hotmail or Windows Live Mail. I can help you with the latter, but someone else will have to jump in for Hotmail since I'm not familiar with it.
